It's almost time to begin....

I belong to a really cool forum online for photographers (and scrapbookers)....I found it around Feb of 2007 and they had already started a picture of the day challenge with themes for each week. We post our picture and then share the link with the group and we comment and critique each other's work....I have learned so much in 2007 that I want to start fresh in 2008 and give the POTD challenge a try....my goal is to at least post on a weekly basis and if I do more than that, even better....but I want to be realistic...my other goal is to also make it all the way through the year....

Tomorrow the challenge begins...here are the themes for the year...
